How to Get a Keg in Stardew Valley
The Keg in Stardew Valley is a huge leg up for players who want to make plenty of money. And one of the best ways to make money in this game is by taking your raw crops and turning them into various other products. Kegs in particular, along with Preserve Jars, are great for this.

Here are all the items you can produce in the Keg in Stardew Valley, along with the necessary raw ingredients and time it takes for the product to spawn:
As you can see, there’s a lot of variety to be found here. So how do you get it?
Getting the Keg via the Artisan Bundle reward is a pretty good way to get a free one. One of these, the Artisan Bundle, will give you a Keg as a reward for completing it. To complete the Artisan Bundle, you will need 6 out of these 12 items:
- Apple
- Apricot
- Cheese
- Cherry
- Cloth
- Goat Cheese
- Honey
- Jelly
- Orange
- Peach
- Pomegranate
- Truffle Oil
The other method is to just craft one. With the right resources, you can make dozens of them. To unlock the recipe for the Keg, you will need to reach level 8 in Farming. This will take some time, but you should be able to do it after a few in-game years growing fertile crops.
Here are the items you need to craft one Keg:
- Wood x30
- Copper Bar x1
- Iron Bar x1
- Oak Resin x1
What to Brew?
The Keg and the Preserves Jar both process raw crops and turn them into much more expensive items. However, which one is better? A lot of people are wondering what they should do with these Kegs in Stardew Valley once they have them.
The general idea is that you shouldn’t use the expensive fruits that work better as preserves in a keg.
Preserve Jars are better for some fruits, like Apricot, Salmonberry and Blueberry, but for pretty much anything else, you need to use the Keg.
